I hate it when There is 6 Guys that Know each other, at the same Bench Press machine, and talking and laughing out loud, and I’m right there Waiting for their dumb Butts to get off and let me exercise, Gosh, I wish I could slap them silly -__-. Also, I hate it when bulky guys think they are the Gods at the gym :/. I also freaking hate when Old guys walk around naked in the restroom with their things hanging :/ Disgusting

Man, i am so agree with you… why don’t they buy the bench press machine go back home and take turn to use it? some they even hog it for the damn hours!!!

I hate it when mothers bring their children to the gym when they attend aerobic and other classes! Hello? Gym is not child care center. The kids run around and play the fool with the equipment and is a nuisance. The problem is the manager allows it and give excuses that ‘ no one to care for the kids at home etc. etc……..’ There is a ‘No children allowed in Gym’ sign, but no one cares!

I hate it when people come to the gym and do not even give exercise a try. They use only machines and put enough weight on there that a 3 year old could move. So many people come to the gym just to say they go to the gym.

The whole point to a gym membership is to get in shape and so many people use it only for socializing. It is great to socialize but I do not want to hear about all the details of your last date you had.

The gym is for exercise and, of course, light socializing and not a hang out!

I hate it when the Personal Trainers look like they could seriously make do with some PT themselves! I have come across pallid, skinny, malnourished PTs trying to teach members how to get fit. I am sorry but I think all PTs must look the part. Physically they must look good, if not they have no business in this business. By default their physical appearance must inspire and garner admiration in some ways. Otherwise why should one pay RM1000 when you don’t even inspire confidence, right?

I hate when the gym’s crowded and i’m waiting for a bench to be open and a guy finally leaves a bench and I wait 10 minutes to see if he’s coming back or done. After seeing he’s across the gym doing something else now I start using the bench and he comes back 15 minutes later complaining about how he wasn’t done yet and acts like I’m crazy for getting on “his” bench during his 25 minute escapade around the gym.

If you leave a machine for 25 minutes or you go to another machine and start working out, you no longer have rights to the original machine. You do not own every machine in the gym, please stop acting like you do. /rant

1.) I hate bench hoggers
2.) I hate ppl who throw heavy DB’s in an uncontrolled manner
3.) I hate ppl who don’t return the weight plates/DB’s to the rack
4.) I hate my gym for blasting the music too loud
5.) I hate my gym that tries to save cost by shuttin the airconditioning to the free weights area all the time
6.) I hate ppl who goes to the gym and waste their time tryin to pick up guys/girls
7.) I hate huge groups of ppl that works out together (wastin time)
8.) I hate ppl who does not put an effort into workin out

LOL thats enough hate for now. I’m still headin to the gym later though – ah well.

Let’s see……as a group fitness instructor, I spend a lot of time in the gym and I hate that following (and many of those you listed! Thanks!):

1. Dudes who puff up in the weight room, but clearly have no idea how to lift properly.
2. Girls who do 10 minutes of cardio and leave.
3. People who leave classes halfway through.
4. People who skip the warmup and/or cooldown of class.
5. People who “train” other people but don’t know what they are talking about.
6. Obese personal trainers and/or instructors.
7. People who drop their weights or drop the stack on machines.
9. People who don’t listen when I correct their form in class.

‘Roid crazed weighlifters / bodybuilders, dripping with foul-smelling sweat and aggression, pushing everyone else around. You know the sort – no one else has the “right” to invade “their” gym space, especially normal people who are simply trying to be fit. The sort who are incapable of responding to reason and see good manners as “weakness”. Maybe tazers and pepper spray would work.

The workout buddies leave me cold. There are always agroup of guys who come to the gym rarly and occupy 2 machines at the same time while they alternate small talk with a few moments of exertion. Most of the time the buddies never even break a sweat during their hour-long ‘fellowship’.

There are plethora of true-life but funny stories about characters in volved in fitness in a new book called ‘The Gym Is A Zoo’…It is worth checking out. It is therapeutic.
